BODY
The untethered body swims
gently through a velvet ocean of time.
Like the curious tentacles of an octopus
it receives the echoes of life while being
gently pulled toward what it loves.
A changing shape, a morphing memory
the body feels and
the body knows,
ancient in its intelligence.
To be soft and tender is to be
perceptible and alive,
to be stiff and brittle is a numbness
that asks for attention and resurrection.
